Subject: simple-cdd: Does not mirror non-free or contrib

Package: simple-cdd
Version: 0.6.7
Severity: normal
Tags: d-i
Dear Maintainer,
I am trying to build a CD via simple-cdd by running
build-simple-cdd --conf ./cd.conf
The contents of that conf file are:
mirror_components="non-free main contrib"
server=debian.osuosl.org
debian_mirror="http://debian.osuosl.org/debian/"
locale="en_US"
keyboard=us
dist=buster
profiles=revl
auto_profiles=revl
It does not mirror non-free or contrib. The build exits with a valid CD
but outputs:
2020-05-15 16:24:57 ERROR Last 2 lines of standard error:
2020-05-15 16:24:57 ERROR distcheck:: Fatal error in module common/input.ml:
2020-05-15 16:24:57 ERROR distcheck:: Input file /home/oliver/Documents/code/revl/configs/site-box/preseed/tmp/cd-build/buster/CD1/dists/buster/contrib/binary-amd64/Packages.gz does not exist.
It is also the case that neither `non-free` nor `contrib` is not mirrored and the
`tmp/mirror/dists/buster/X/ ../Packages.gz` file exists but is empty for
X = non-free or contrib.
I did notice that if I change `mirror_components="main contrib
non-free"` to `mirror_components="non-free main"` then I do get non-free
and main packages and it all seems to work (luckily I don't actually
need anything from contrib).

Hi,
I stumbled into this too, thanks to your report I was able to work out
the following:
It seems to be the behaviour is that unless you are using packages from
those specific components then that local component-mirror doesn't get
created properly therefore you end up with errors, but a working CD.
The only component-mirrors that fail to get created properly are the
ones with 0 packages anyway, so these errors are ignorable.
Thanks,
Imran

I think I figured this out. It seems that the contents of `Packages` and
`Packages.gz` in tmp/mirror/dists/buster/non-free/binary-amd64/Packages is
the intersection of the packages available in that section and the set of
packages selected in a NAME.packages profile. If that intersection is empty
the CD build fails. When I added some packages from non-free things started
working again. The ordering issue reported in the original bug seems to be
a red herring.
